Krazy Kruizers Posted December 3, 2004 #1 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Linda & Lou I imagine you are getting ready to fly out to San Diego a day or so early for your Hawaiian cruise on the Statendam. Have a great cruise and hope your first visit to Hawaii won't be your last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pincus Posted December 3, 2004 #2 Share Posted December 3, 2004 I second that "bon voyage," and hope you have a wonderful trip. We have done the Hawaii run twice, both times on the Statendam which we love. Since KK came back with reports of air conditioning problems, I would appreciate your reporting back on those when you return. In the meantime...happy sailing.

1cruiselvr Posted December 3, 2004 #5 Share Posted December 3, 2004 We are sailing with Lou/Linda, in fact, we will be tablemates. I will let them know that you wished them bon voyage. They were flying to San Diego today, to spend the weekend before boarding the ship on Monday. Happy Sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimVrhovac Posted December 4, 2004 #7 Share Posted December 4, 2004 You guys have a great trip and enjoy the sun. Ruth and I leave tommow (4th) for 14 days on the Veendam. Need the relaxation as the hurricanes we had this summer are still driving us crazy. The have the house gutted and the furniture stored but have not done anything for two weeks. Really look forward to sailing with you next Dec on the Veendam Jim and Ruth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1cruiselvr Posted December 4, 2004 #8 Share Posted December 4, 2004 THANKS EVERYONE! Going crazy with last minute preparations. Can't wait as we have never been to Hawaii at Xmas or any other time! JimVrhovac: Sorry to hear about your hurricane troubles. You deserve a great vacation! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryansmemom Posted December 23, 2004 #9 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Hi everyone Thanks so much for your good wishes. 1cruiselvr and Sacdr told us about them when we met so we felt your kindness before we sailed. We had a spectacular cruise!!! We had a wonderful time. We loved the Statendam. She is a very classy ship and very beautiful. Considering the fact that she is due for a major overhaul she is in great shape. It is obvious she has been lovingly maintained. We found her crew to be delightful, as we have always found HAL crews to be. They were smiling and as generous and kind as usual and working very hard. The level of service was excellent. The crew worked very hard and were very gracious. As always, the best part of the cruise for us was the people we shared our cruise with. I have to say, we really lucked out this time. You all know who you are. We had the best time and we miss you. The only cure for this is to do it again and add all of the wonderful people we have sailed with before to the group. Bliss would be a cruise with everyone on board. Hawaii was the best place I've been to so far on this planet. I want to go back. I want another Hawaii cruise. So now my favorite ports are: AT SEA Any Port in Hawaii Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1cruiselvr Posted December 23, 2004 #10 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Hi Linda - we didn't get to say our goodbyes. We enjoyed cruising with you and Lou. Hope to see you on the Veendam next yr. Happy Sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted December 23, 2004 #11 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Linda, I am so glad you enjoyed Hawaii. I have not been foruate enough yet to have had a Hawaii cruise but have flown to Hawaii many times. We especially love the Big Island. We call Kona our home away from home. We just have that special feeling when ever we are there. Welcome Home!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pincus Posted December 23, 2004 #12 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Linda, welcome back. We are booked on the 5 January cruise (health of a family member permitting). Do you happen to remember anything about the officers, i.e., captain, hotel manager, CD, etc? Would appreciate your reply. Thanks. Pincus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherInFlorida Posted December 23, 2004 #13 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Linda, welcome home! I don't know how I missed your Bon Voyage! Sounds like you had a heavenly time and I'm so glad. Someone posted pics the other day of the Hawaiian Islands and it really made me want to go back. Glad your safely home. Have a blessed Christmas.
